    2. The Order of the Planets 1. Mercury 2. Venus 3. Earth 4. Mars 5. Jupiter 6. Saturn 7. Uranus 8. Neptune 9. Pluto

    3. Inner Planet (Terrestrial) -Mercury -Venus -Earth -Mars

    4. Outer Planet (Gas Giant) Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune

    5. Retrograde Rotation (spins backwards) Venus Uranus Pluto

    6. Smaller Than Earth Mercury Venus Mars Pluto

    7. No Moons Mercury Venus

    8. Has a ring system Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune

    9. No Solid Surface Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune

    10. Too far away to see without a telescope. Uranus Neptune Pluto

    11. Mercury: Closest to the Sun Shortest Revolution

    12. Venus: Close in size to Earth “Earth’s Twin” Hottest Average Temp. Very thick atmosphere

    13. Compare the sizes of the Terrestrial Planets:

    14. Earth: 1 moon (Luna) Has liquid water Has the only known life

    15. Mars: 2 Moons Thin Atmosphere The “Red Planet” Tallest volcano in solar system

    16. Jupiter Largest Planet Made mostly of H and He Many moons (about 64) Has a red spot (1.5 X the diameter of Earth) Radiates more heat than it gets from the Sun

    17. Compare the sizes of the Gas Giants

    18. Saturn: Made mostly of H and He Many moons (about 32) Less dense than water Largest rings

    19. Uranus: Much smaller than Jupiter and Saturn Axis tilted at a 90 degree angle Has many moons (27)

    20. Neptune: Much smaller than Jupiter and Saturn Many moons (13)

    21. Pluto: Smallest Planet Farthest out from the sun - coldest planet 1 moon which is more than half the size of Pluto Orbit is so elliptical that it’s path is inside Neptune’s for 20 years It just became last again in 2005.

    22. Compare the size of the Sun to all 9 Planets!
